How to use Writing Assist on Fire Tablet?

Last updated on: January 5, 2025, first published on: January 2, 2025 1 Comment

How to use Writing Assist on Fire Tablet?

Writing Assist is the most practical tool among the three generative AI features currently available on Fire tablets.

This Fire tablet how-to guide explains what Writing Assist is, the available features of Writing Assist, and how to access and use these features to help your writing. The guide also explains how to use Writing Assist with a Bluetooth keyboard and the limitations of this AI tool.

You may check the other two AI features on Fire tablet in these two guides: Webpage Summaries and Wallpaper Creator.

What is the Writing Assist on Fire Tablet?

Amazon announced three generative AI features when Fire HD 8 2024 was released: Writing Assist, Webpage Summaries, and Wallpaper Creator.

Writing Assist on Fire tablet is simply an AI-powered writing tool. It uses generative AI to help you improve your writing and offers various suggestions, including grammar, spelling, style, and even the tone of your writing. You can even get suggestions for making your writing tone more casual or professional. The feature is similar to Samsung's Writing Assistant (powered by Grammarly) but not comparable to Galaxy AI's Writing Assist, which offers many advanced features like Composer and auto-reply.

Writing Assist is integrated into the Fire tablet's keyboard in Fire OS 8. So, it works across all apps that require text input and you can access it whenever you use the keyboard.

You can even use it when you use a Bluetooth keyboard with your Fire tablet (read on).

List of Fire tablet models with Writing Assist

Currently, Writing Assist is available on Fire tablets with Fire OS 8 (excluding Fire 7 2022).

Here is the list of suppirted Fire tablets:

  • Fire HD 8 2024 (12th Gen).

What’s new in Fire HD 8 2024 (12th Gen)?

Last updated on: November 21, 2025, first published on: October 6, 2024 1 Comment

Fire HD 8 2024 (12th Gen)

Fire HD 8 2024 (12th Gen) is an upgraded model (not a new model or a new gen in the product line) of Fire HD 8 20222 (12th Gen). This means the update in this 2024 release is relatively limited.

This Fire Tablet guide explains the new features and upgrades in Fire HD 8 2024, including more RAM, AI features, and an improved rear camera, to help you decide whether this tablet is the right device for you.

If you are considering a Fire tablet, you may check out the Fire Tablet Buyer's Guide 2025, which covers all Fire tablet models available in the market and the key differences among them.

Additional RAM

Fire HD 8 2024 (12th Gen) now has 3GB RAM for the 32GB storage version and 4GB RAM for the 64GB version. So, compared to Fire HD 8 2022, both versions get 1GB of additional RAM.

For this reason, Amazon claims a 50% increase in RAM (2GB to 3GB). For the 64GB version, the increase is 33.3%.

Although many potential buyers may be disappointed with the ancient CPU, which is identical to that in Fire HD 8 2022 (12th Gen), it is actually smart to add more RAM if you can only upgrade one of them. The tablet feels smoother when switching between apps, especially for some large apps.

Additional RAM is very likely required for the coming AI features (read on).

5MP rear camera

Fire HD 8 2024 (12th Gen) shares identical dimensions and button layout with Fire HD 8 2022 (12th Gen). The second upgrade to the tablet is the rear camera sensor.

The rear camera in Fire HD 8 2024 is upgraded to 5MP (from 2MP in the 2022 model).… Read the rest

What’s new in Fire HD 8 2022 (12th Gen) vs Fire HD 8 2020 (10th Gen)?

Last updated on: January 6, 2025, first published on: October 9, 2022 4 Comments

What's new in Fire HD 8 2022 (12th Gen) vs Fire HD 8 2022 (10th Gen)?

Amazon announced the Fire HD 8 2022, which is the 12th Gen of the Fire Tablet, on September 21, 2022. You can get your hands on it from October 19.

Fire HD 8 2022 (12th Gen) shares a similar size and design, almost identical display, similar micro SD card support, and identical RAM, compared to the previous generation of Fire HD 8 (Fire HD 2020/10th Gen).

So, what is new in Fire HD 8 2022 (12th Gen) vs Fire HD 8 2020 (10th Gen)?

This Fire tablet buying guide explains the six changes or improvements in the Fire HD 8 2022 (12th Gen) vs Fire HD 8 2020 (10th Gen), including Fire OS 8, a Hexa-core processor, 13-hour battery life, swapped locations for the power and volume buttons, 5MP rear camera for the Plus model, and $10 price hike.

Update: the upgrade model, Fire HD 8 2024 (12th Gen), is now replacing Fire HD 8 2022. However, there is no Plus version in the 2024 release.

1. Fire OS 8

Fire HD 8 2022 (12th Gen) is the second Fire tablet with the latest Fire OS: Fire OS 8.

As explained in this post, Fire 7 2022 (12th Gen) is the first Fire tablet shipped with Fire OS 8.
